The Ultimate Hunts Lounge Experience

Welcome to the Hunts Lounge

A hunts lounge is more than a place—it's a sanctuary where the traditions, experiences, and expertise of hunting converge. At the heart of an exceptional hunts lounge experience are seasoned veterans like Charlie and Chuck Linblade, who bring over 40 years and 20 years of expertise respectively in gun dog training and hunting adventures across North America.

Charlie Linblade: Master Huntsman and Trainer

With a profound understanding of the intricate balance between hunting and conservation, Charlie Linblade has dedicated his life to mastering the art of gun dog training. As a breeder of English Setters and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, he ensures that each dog not only meets but exceeds hunting standards with precision and care. His commitment is reflected in his lifelong memberships with prestigious organizations such as the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) and the Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC).

Charlie's role as a wing shooting preserve operator and retired AKC Hunt Test Judge further solidifies his reputation in the hunting community. Featured on TV shows like Michigan Out of Doors and The American Bird Hunter, Charlie's influence extends far beyond the training grounds.

Chuck Linblade: Up-and-Coming Huntsman

Following closely in his father's footsteps, Chuck Linblade brings a modern twist to traditional hunting and training methods. Beginning his journey at the age of 10, Chuck has an advanced understanding of training hunting dogs, proven by his successful participation in NAVHDA events at high levels. His extensive experience, gained from hunting with Charlie across the U.S. and Canada, makes him a cornerstone of the hunts lounge experience at Michigan Wing Shooter.

The Heart of Positive Reinforcement Training

At the core of their methodology is a positive reinforcement training approach. This gentle yet effective method ensures that the dogs work to earn praise rather than avoid punishment. It turns training sessions into joyous, productive experiences where dogs exhibit their full potential. The result? Watching a team of well-trained dogs at work becomes a central part of the hunts lounge experience, whether it's for family outings or corporate events.

Charlie and Chuck's philosophy respects each dog's individuality, bringing out their best traits using kind and consistent methods. This dedication to positive reinforcement makes a significant difference in the overall quality and enjoyment of the hunts lounge experience.
